Google announced the release of Chrome 64-bit Beta Channel
for Windows 7 and Windows 8 Users to give faster and more secure browsing experience.
You can download and test it from their beta channel.
The latest version will replace the
existing version by preserving all your settings and bookmarks.

Reset is always a good feature for every application and it makes easy to restore all the settings back to default. In the case of browsers, you may love to restore the settings back when it’s loading slowly or if there is any other problems. Mozilla implemented the reset feature of its browser for some time now. Now Google added the reset option in their Chrome browser.

Previously it was not easy to reset the Chrome because we had to follow some technical process to accomplish this. Now it is one Click away.

You are done and it will restore the homepage, new tab page and search engine, disable your extensions and unpin all tabs. It will also clear other temporary and cached data, such as cookies, content and site data.

You know all the browsers maintain the list of web sites you have visited called browsing history and you can use this feature to check out what sites you have visited in later time and also it makes browsing speed little fast when you visit the same site on next time.

Privacy is more concern when you deal with Internet. If you using multi user computer, you may don't want others viewing the browser history which have all the information about the sites that you visited. If you don’t want to record this information, you can configure your browser to automatically to delete browsing history each time when you close the browser or else you can use private browsing feature which available on modern browsers.

What we get up to on the internet is something that most people consider fairly private matter, it’s a little like asking peoples what they like in the bedroom. For years now, we’ve gotten used to deleting our internet histories, browsing carefully and making sure that we don’t leave tabs open for other people to find (you know what I’m talking about), but you’ve probably heard about private browsing options in your browser and wondered what they actually do. Most modern browsers now offer a private browsing option for users to select, though their implementation varies from program to program, but what are the broad pros and cons?

Pro #1 - Your History Isn't Saved

This is a big one for many people - when you’re in a private browsing window, whatever website you go on will be forgotten as soon as you close the tab itself, meaning that anybody who goes snooping through your history will not see any activity you don’t want them to see. This can prove incredibly useful for buying Christmas, birthday or anniversary gifts without other people finding out what you’ve been looking at. It’s also pretty useful for a number of adult pursuits, which I shan't go into great length about, but needless to say, it can prove a lifesaver in keeping your privacy to yourself.

Pro #2 - You Don’t Need To Download Anything

Way back when, there used to be special browsers made with the specific purpose of not saving your search and browsing history. Sadly, having these installed on your computer looked suspect in and of itself, let alone what you were using it for. All modern browsers now come with this functionality built in, whether it’s called private browsing or incognito mode (Chrome), this mode is usually hidden from sight and won’t cause any suspicion.

Con #1 - You Can Still Be Tracked

Private browsing modes are useful for some things, but what they do not do is stop websites from tracking you across the internet. Many services do this, but it’s mostly advertisers who follow you around from site to site, gathering information which will help them display more relevant advertising to you. They do this through planting tracking cookies in your browser, but there are many anti-tracking extensions and add-ons you can download for your browser to stop this practice from taking place.

Con #2 - Extensions Can Gather Data

When launching into a private browsing session, make sure you’ve only got the extensions you want turned on because many of these extensions can gather data, or even make use of your history. A little diligence on the part of the user can stop this problem, but for many, it’s an easily forgotten piece of advice that goes in one ear and out the other.

So then, we’ve discovered that private browsing, whilst being a useful addition to a browser and a much safer way to look at sensitive websites, isn’t the impenetrable world of privacy that many would hope it is. As always, we recommend that you take care whilst on the internet, in private browsing or otherwise.
